Pittsburghs DIY Bicycle Collective

Just how does it work?

As a collective, Free Ride is supported and operated by the community of people who use it.

Free Ride aims to operate without a hierarchy and to be respectful of all people. It is important that members of the Free Ride community are respected and encouraged to learn.

The collective council is the governing body responsible for major decisions at Free Ride. Membership in the collective council is open to anybody. Although everything may not be recorded, this page is devoted to these decisions in a Q and A Format.

Q: How can I reserve a bike in the shop-space, or keep a project I am working with in the shop-space?

A: You may keep any bike you are working on at Free Ride for $10.00, or 1 volunteer-hour (waived with Access Card) for up to 30 calendar days. This bike cannot be sold, taken or discarded during this time.
